        Venuta dal cielo

        by Gianni Corvaia

        Questa è la storia di un angelo sceso sulla terra per aiutare un uomo, suo padre, nella conversione. Una presa di coscienza raggiunta attraverso tappe lunghe e dolorose. Una vicenda apparentemente triste che invita a riflettere sulla vita e a dirigere lo sguardo verso una dimensione più profonda, che va oltre gli accadimenti personali. Un invito alla meditazione e all'orientamento dell'esistenza umana, che pur nella sua drammaticità contiene una forma di rigenerazione. Parole semplici, utilizzate dall’autore, che partono dal cuore per trovare dimora nell’animo di coloro che, leggendole, possano iniziare uno splendido cammino d’amore. Giovanni Battista Corvaia, avvocato e imprenditore di Palermo, chiamato da tutti Gianni. Uomo serio e stimato, ha lasciato questa testimonianza in seguito alla scomparsa della sua adorata figlioletta Barbara. Nell’immenso dolore ha rivolto i suoi occhi a Dio e in Lui ha trovato un senso. Per anni il suo desiderio è stato quello di pubblicare tali riflessioni, ma ciò è stato possibile soltanto dopo decenni e una volta risposatosi. Infatti, ha espresso in punto di morte tale volontà alla sua seconda moglie, Santina Di Stefano, donna sensibile e di grande animo, che l’ha accolta e si è prodigata per realizzarla.

For this edition, with a selection of thirty biographies of the most famous women from history, mythology and religion, the Ms. Royal 16 G.V. from the British Library in London has been chosen, a French manuscript from the second half of the 15th century, the miniatures of which, of exceptional elegance, set the happenings within the refined atmosphere of the transalpine court.

        The Calling

        Stories of Jesuits in the 16th and 17th Centuries

        by Adriano Prosperi

        This book explains not who the Jesuits were, but how their awareness of having become Jesuits was constructed. It does so on the basis of a collection of documents which have often been referred to as ‘autobiographies’, in fact individual members’ accounts of how they received their calling. Each Jesuit had to describe in writing how the divine call had come to him, what signs had preceded it and how he had broken away from his ‘fleshly’ family to become a member of the Company. Their acute awareness of the definitive nature of the close pact they had established with God by becoming members of the army of the Lord, made the Jesuits new, unusual figures, unprecedented in the history of Christian religious orders: men trained to carry out arduous missions into the most distant countries of the world, in contact with unknown cultures, without any weakening of their ties with the Company; a classic case is Matteo Ricci. Accepting their calling meant adopting a special life, characterized by a modern form of asceticism: a total break with the past and their families, a readiness to go wherever they were sent, as new apostles.

        A Bible in Ivory

        Mediterranean art in 11th century Salerno

        by Valentino Pace

        In the late 11th century, one of the greatest historical and artistical times in Campania, in the South of Italy, a significant role was played in this sense by Alfano, the Archbishop of Salerno. He personally committed the episcopal throne inside the Cathedral, with the intention to catch the eye of anyone who entered as a symbol of the ultimate devotion. Of this work, with scenes from the Old and New Testament, only 67 ivory plaques still remain. The throne was realized in ivory, a precious material which can be considered inferior only to gold. Working with ivory required advanced skills from the artists, who had to know how to extract the thin layers from an elephant tusk before being able to delicately carve a scene. Possibly planned and executed for the Cathedral of Amalfi, it is the most extensive series of ivory panels to an artifact that predates the Gothic Era. They prove to be an artistic production that, due to the valuable nature of its material and the quality of its execution – not to mention the inherent interest of its narrative sequence –, is without comparison.
